A short YouTube monologue (by Jayson Lowe) directed at Canadian banks criticizing intrusive or unnecessary questions about personal financial transactions. The speaker demands autonomy over their money, objects to queries like "Why are you moving more than $10,000?", and frames banks as mere platforms that should not impede customers.
Because they ask me dumb questions. They don't know who I am. They don't know my business. They don't understand why I'm moving the money. And they don't need to know any of those things because it's my money. I know what exactly. And I'm the customer. They're simply the platform that should allow me to do what I want to do. They're just facilitating it. Yeah, just get out of my way. Let me do what I want to do. But they're asking me a bunch of Mickey Mouse questions. Well, why are you moving more than $10,000? Why does your like, why is irrelevant. It's mine. Just shut up. Let me do what I want to do. And so I get really agitated. So I don't want to call the bank because my level of communication frenzy begins to amplify and the volume goes up. And I just like, I probably shouldn't be the person on the. Communicating with this individual, because I asked them questions, and they can't. They can't answer my questions.
